"FLY ME TO THE MOON" fundraiser

June 5th, 2008

FLY ME TO THE MOON was a star studded-fundraiser designed to benefit Women’s Health Initiatives at four Montreal hospitals.

The Directors were there to entertain.

Starlink Aviation, a 42,000 square foot private hangar in Dorval, Qc was the point of departure for this cosmic adventure. Hosted by ‘Captain’ BEN MULRONEY


and featuring an organizing committee of some of the city’s most creative and philanthropic business women, 400 plus ‘passengers’ were treated to international musical talent, a tableau of spectacular Badgley Mischka Couture gowns, and a universe of surprises!
This sexy chic event was designed to capitalize on the Grand Prix buzz and raise the bar for philanthropic endeavors.

As doors opened, "passengers" were amazed at the eye candy surrounding them.
Cirque de Soleil acrobatics in the air as a drum troupe (Zurumba) wailed beats.

Special guests were Disco Diva "Thelma Houston" !


Below are: Tony, Thelma Houston and Randi...

And if that weren't enough, ever heard of the songs "Good Times" or "He's the greatest dancer" or "We are family"?
Ladies and Gentleman, Sister Sledge!

And then to put the cheery on the cake, who else but Montreal's own JONAS performed with his guitar player and The Directors were there to back him up.
Honestly? If you haven't yet heard of Jonas...you will..he's a rockstar!


An event like this doesn't just happen on its own. There are many sponsors and planners who take part, who put their time and energy in to making it happen. Special mentions go out to Atmosp(here) Communications and Events,
Kloda Productions, Danielle Bitton, Bombardier, Java U catering, and numerous other sponsors.

The event truly was spectacular and probably the most grandiose of the entire year.
The Directors are proud and honored to have been a part of it.

Below are Tony, Randi and Jason of Atmosp(here)

Sincerely,

The Directors Showband.

Live from Le Capitole du Québec

On Saturday May 24th, 2008, The Directors Showband were scheduled to perform at
Le Capitole du Québec, in Quebec City.

For those of you who have never been to "Le Capitole", it is a venue which has presented some of the world's leading acts and musicals.
The Directors were now added to that list...

The event held there that evening was the Engineers Canada awards Gala.

The evening began with champagne and hors d'oeuvres which ofocurse inlcuded the finest french cheeses,(Vive le Québec!) , then followed by a five course sit down meal accompanied by fine wines. Plush rounded booths and beautifully decorated tables by Decorum Québec provided the backdrop for a lavish and romantic evening.

THE SHOW

Set to hit the stage at 10:00 p.m. , The Directors Show Band dazzled the audience with their wide variety of music and high octane energy.(There was so much energy that it blurred the camera!).


The crowd became so engaged, that some couldn't help but become a part of the band.


"Ladies and Gentleman, ' Les Triplettes du Quebec City' !"

Another memorable part of the evening was a young lady by the name of Dianna, who courageously came up to sing "Time after Time" by Cyndi Lauper.

It truly was a an interactive show which held many surprises....

Randi and Tony along with The Directors, gave it their top notch performance....as they always do.

Last but not least, the award for best dancers of the night go to: (Drum roll please..)..
